Coir


1. Where it is produced- it is mainly made in India, specially the coastal region of Kerala State. Here over 60% of the worlds supply of coir is produced.

2. Uses for coir include doormats, brushes, mattresses, floor tiles, sacking, and twine.

3. Coir is used to prevent erosion and sedimentation control. It is also very versatile in the agricultural and horticultural (industry dealing with cultivation) industries. Coir isvery resistant to salt water so it makes a good rope for boat crews.Coir-Rope.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-09_at_11.46.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-09_at_11.29_#2.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-09_at_11.29.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-08_at_11.43_#3.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-08_at_11.43_#2.jpgPhoto_on_2010-12-08_at_11.43.jpg

Step 1: This is the DNA molecule before replication
Step 2: The DNA molecule unzips and the hydrogen bonds are broken.
Step 3: The DNA strands begin to pair up with the other existing strands
Step 4: DNA replication is now complete and there is an exact copy of the old DNA molecule.
